I appreciate you pushing this thread to the top, Mannen. I have been stuck at around 70 data points for what seems like a long time (although maybe it just feels like a long time). Hopefully people keep me in mind if they realize their player is capped.

Is their a way that you could try and workout the potential cap by looking at players that aren't capped yet?
This would allow you to look at players on the transfer list and look at the top players at each potential and allow you to work out where the cap is, or more specifically, you could work out where the cap isn't. I think that would be a lot easier to do as you would have significantly more data points.

Maybe there will be another flood of data by the next salary update. I'm pretty sure my player capped and am only waiting for 2 more weeks of training and his new salary.

Wolph had the same line of thinking and I replied to him. Here is his original post: (155261.58).

Just to be clear: I am not using salary as an indicator if a player is capped. For me, seeing a training history is the only way to know. There are some cap estimates out there using salary, but they vary wildly. So at best, salary only gives a rough guide. I do not know if that is just because of sub-levels on potential or for some other reason. That is the reason for this exercise.

I knew you don't use salary as an indicator, but I assumed you also make some calculations to figure out which maximum salary fits to a certain potential. Anyway, I want to give him a little more training just to be sure:)

I think I might be able to contribute the data of a balanced SF after the all-star break, very interesting project, I am exicted to see the results :D

Sounds great. New data is always welcome. But rare data points are even more welcome.

Since people started asking Joseph Ka in the other thread to start investigating skill caps, I guess people have already forgotten about this study! Yes, I have taken some time off. I am going to wait until I have at least 100 data points before saying anything further. And at the current pace - I am guessing it will be at least another two seasons before I will be talking again.

By the way, this has been a bit of a frustrating excercise, since it has been a lot of work for very little return so far. But rest assured that I am still working on it and I will continue to do so until I have solid answers. However, I need the community's support, there is no getting around that.
